"The way that I approached numbers, think about……" — Daniel Tammet

"The way that I approached numbers, think about them, the same as for language as well-acquiring vocabulary, understanding the grammar, the structures of languages, the rhythm, the music and so-on - these things obviously evolved."

— Daniel Tammet
